"There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so." Shakespeare (Hamlet)What I call "Insight Therapy" is a way of bringing into awareness the thoughts that play over and over in our mind. This often unconscious dialogue leads to often unpleasant feelings that lead to more unconscious and often judgmental thoughts.

Traditionally, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on bringing those thoughts into conscious awareness, thereby slowing down the process by which they spin, but also becoming clear about where they lead in terms of creating feelings, more thoughts, and a resultant self-image based on unconscious thought processes.

To take it a step further, I use the principles of Insight meditation, a Buddhist meditation practice, to expand on and deepen the CBT work mentioned above.
